Intel Core i9-7900X Overclocked To 5.7GHz Breaking Cinebench World Records
Now that Intel has officially rolled out its "Core-X" family based on the Skylake-X and Kaby Lake-X CPUs, overclocking of them has begun in earnest for those lucky few who have one in hand. As per usual, benchmarkers at the extreme end of the spectrum tend to shoot for the moon no holds barred, driven by the fumes of LN2 cooling. For one lucky i9-7900X owner calling himself "Elmor," he took his rightful place among the benchmarking stars, shattering the previous Cinebench world record for a 10-core chip with a very respectable 5.7GHz final clock. His score in Cinebench R15 was 3181, while Cinebench R11.5 scored 34.79.
Elmor is of course not new at this. He has a previous record attained with a Ryzen 7 1800X early during early launch, so it seems professional overclocking is alive and well. This of course is by no means what an average OC'er should expect out of any chip, but it is still impressive and an achievement in its own right to see these chips pushed so far.

Overclocking is definitely 'not normal' btw, so you aren't a normal consumer yourself ;) LN2 overclocking is just our hobby taken to the extreme limit for fun.
Am i not allowed to have an opinion and voice it?, why do you feel the need to reply to my first post if im allowed to?, if you dont want me to reply to your post then its possibly not the best idea to reply to my post in the start.
This is a post.Wait, are you saying because i dont share the same hobby you two do, and mention itll be a literal housefire if you dont use LN2, then i should just get out?, purely because you dont want anyone else to say whats true?
Because at those clocks it is a housefire without LN2, just like the Ryzen would be.
And just like the Ryzen, i bet it wont clock anywhere near it for "normal" high end air/aio cooling
But alas, lets keep voicing our opinion about others telling us to not voice ours because we disagree with them
Its useful to discuss how its going to be a literal housefire without LN2, yeah sure LN2 might show the very extreme end of potential OC - but as for "normal" users that OC, im just pointing out that its going to be a literal housefire, and wont reach these clocks without it.
Seeing as how Ryzen clocks on LN2 vs non LN2
But hey, thats just like - your opinion, dude.
Do you hate on dragsters? I mean, what good are those as a daily driver??? Thats simply what it is.... racing computers in benchmarks. A hobby. Everybody knows...
The point is it was aleady abundantly clear this isnt for normal conditions...this clearly isnt for you, and thats ok. Zero need for that kind of commentary against it, however.
And that's a consumer chip on a consumer platform, threadripper isn't even out yet and :laugh:
Your math is abit off....one fourth of $999 ≈ $250. The 1800x after the latest price cut is at $469.
The 8 core version of skylake-x has beat that 1800x score by +100 points and that chip is only $599.
You seem very upset at me - just becasue i stated some, albeit derp facts, but true facts.I only hate on dragsters that wear frizzly capes
I personally like N2 cooling scores, but those are just some random meaningless numbers for me. And please, again, pretty please, stop comparing N2 cooling with extreme sports, including Dragsters or whatever, this is so different is mind blowing.
Again, congrats to the occ guy, but you know what it would be interesting? The same competition done with normal air cooling solution, would love to see some real numbers that I can apply in real life using the settings those guys were using. Now that would be really interesting.
The dragster thing was spot on.
Move along now...we get it. :)
Show me the house fire. The "literal" one.
But hey, at least were keeping the thread alive, right?
..and have a good evening. :)
